Dearest, darlingest Momsie and Popsicle
My dear father
There’s been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz
But of course, I’ll care for Nessa
But of course, I’ll rise above it
For I know that’s how you’d want me to respond

Yes
There’s been some confusion for, you see, my roommate is
Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe
Blonde
What is this feeling, so sudden and new?
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling

Yeah, well, my face is flushing
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame
Does it have a name?
Yes
Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
For your face
Your voice
Your clothing

Let’s just say
I loathe it all
Every little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple, utter loathing
There’s a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It’s so pure, so strong
Though I do admit, it came on fast

Still, I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing
Loathing you my whole life long

Dear Galinda, you are just too good
How do you stand it? I don’t think I could
She’s a terror, she’s a tartar, we don’t mean to show a bias
But, Galinda, you’re a martyr

Well, these things are sent to try us
Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We just want to tell you, we’re all on your side
We share your loathing

What is this feeling, so sudden and new?
Unadulterated loathing
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
For her face, her voice, her clothing
My pulse is rushing, my head is reeling (Let’s just say)
We loathe it all
Oh, what is this feeling?
Every little trait, however small
Does it have a name?
Makes our very flesh begin to crawl
Yes
Ahh
Loathing
Loathing
There’s a strange exhilaration
Loathing
In such total detestation
Loathing
It’s so pure, so strong
So strong

Though I do admit, it came on fast
Still, I do believe that it can last

And I will be loathing for forever
Loathing truly deeply
Loathing you (Loathing you)
My whole life long
Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
Boo!
Ah!
